Staff leasing
Temporary workers for a season, a peak or a line launch
The people come onto your shifts and work under your own supervisors, but they are on the WORKIN payroll. When the need ends, the project simply closes - no redundancies, no HR procedures.
Projects run from one month. You pay for the hours actually worked.
What it is and how it works
Leasing means your people on the shift, but someone else's HR responsibility
Your supervisors assign the tasks and the company controls the work itself. Hiring, wages, HR records, occupational safety and replacements are handled by WORKIN. The company pays for the hours worked and its headcount plan stays untouched.
You tell us how many people you need, for which operations, for how long and on what schedule. WORKIN calculates the hourly rate, recruits the group and employs the people on its own staff. If the workers come from abroad, the document route runs in parallel.
On shift, your supervisors manage the people: they assign tasks and accept the work. WORKIN keeps the timesheet together with you and runs wages, occupational safety and replacements, adjusting the headcount to the workload. When the need ends, the project closes without layoffs.

Who it suits
When leasing is the right choice
The service covers a temporary need, when hiring people onto your own payroll makes no sense but you still want to manage them yourself.
- A season: harvest, preserving, the pre-holiday peak
- A one-off surge in orders or a large shipment
- A new line launch while the permanent team is still being hired
- Cover during holidays and sick leave
- Project work with a known end date
- You want to see a person at work before deciding on a permanent role
When another service fits better
- Most common occupations
- Seasonal workers for processing and harvest · Production line operators · Packers and portioning staff · Order pickers and loaders · Sorters · General labourers · Industrial cleaners · Warehouse staff for peak shipping
- Sourcing countries
- Uzbekistan · Azerbaijan · Kyrgyzstan · Tajikistan · India · Türkiye · Bangladesh · Nepal
- Practical timeline to the first shift
- Workers already in Ukraine from 1-2 weeksVisa-free route 4-7 weeksD visa 8-14 weeks

How leasing works
Five steps from the request to the first shift
Leasing starts faster than the other services when the workers are already in Ukraine. For a new arrival from abroad, the timeline starts with the document route.
- 01
Request and terms
How many people, for which operations, for how long, on what shift pattern and at what rate. We record who assigns the tasks on site and who accepts the work.
- 02
Pricing and contract
We calculate the hourly rate and the size of the group, and fix the project duration, the way hours are recorded and the replacement terms.
- 03
Building the group
We select people for the operations and the schedule. If they have to come from abroad, the document route runs in parallel.
- 04
First shift
Safety briefing, workwear, meeting the supervisor and a mentor for the first shift.
- 05
Ongoing work and period close
Your supervisors run the work, WORKIN keeps the hours, handles replacements and closes the period with a report. The number of people is adjusted to the workload.
If the workers come from abroad, the document route is added to the timeline: 4-7 weeks for visa-free countries and 8-14 weeks where a D visa is required.
Who runs leasing
The temporary project team
One specialist handles terms and deadlines, another the people on site, a third the timesheets and documents.
Olena Lytvynenko
Head of enterprise projects
Agrees the number of people, shift schedule and project term, and manages the contract.
Andrii Savchuk
Deputy director
Organises group arrival, housing and transport, and resolves issues on site.
Daryna Bondar
Office manager
Keeps timesheets, acts and invoices for every period together with your supervisor.
Contract
Staff provision contract
Staff leasing is formalised with a staff provision contract. People work under your management while WORKIN remains the employer.
The project term can be extended or shortened by agreement without signing a new contract.

Questions and answers
What companies ask about staff leasing
Answers to the questions that come up before a temporary project starts.
In who runs the work. With leasing your supervisors assign the tasks and WORKIN covers the HR side: hiring, wages, records and replacements. With outsourcing the contractor also takes on organising the work and is responsible for the result on the area.
The practical minimum is one month. Over shorter periods the cost of sourcing, paperwork and briefing does not pay off, either for the company or for the worker.
WORKIN. The people are on its payroll; it pays the wages, keeps the HR records and is responsible for occupational safety. The company runs the work on the shift but carries no HR procedures.
By the time actually worked. The timesheet is kept jointly: your supervisor confirms the hours and the WORKIN coordinator consolidates them into the report that closes the period.
You tell the coordinator and the person is replaced on the agreed terms. That is one of the reasons leasing is chosen as a way to test people before hiring them permanently.
Yes, that is a separate try and hire scenario: testing on the job and then a transfer to the company's payroll. The terms of the transfer are fixed in the contract in advance.
Yes. The number follows the actual workload: you can add people for the peak and reduce the group afterwards. The notice procedure and timeframes are fixed in the contract.
The induction briefing, workwear and protective equipment are on WORKIN. The workplace briefing and everything specific to your production is on the company: only you know your own equipment.
If the people come from another region or from abroad, yes. WORKIN arranges accommodation, transport to the site and meals. These costs are shown separately from the hourly rate.
If the workers are already in Ukraine, practically within one or two weeks. For a new arrival from abroad the document route is added: 4-7 weeks for visa-free countries and 8-14 weeks for a D visa.
